Parent Involvement Linky Party!

Mrs. Bee is having a Linky Party about Parental Involvement. There are already so many great ideas!

Being a special education teacher, I do not have a homeroom, so my parent contact is a bit different.
Good Notes or Happy Grams: I send home good notes that I found on scholastic printables. I also just purchased some postcards from Vista Print yesterday to use as good notes. You can check out my post about them here.
Parent Contact Log: I have a binder where I keep information on all parent contact. I made a new contact log a few days ago that you can find here.
Weekly Progress Report: When I had a homeroom a few years ago, I sent home folders every Friday with papers from the week and a weekly progress report. This report included behavior and work habits for the week and had a place for comments. It also required a parents signature. Parents seem to like this so they could keep up to date on what was happening. I do not have a copy of this at home, but I have it on my school computer. If you would like a copy, send me an email and I will forward it to you. I will try to add it to this post tomorrow.

i-school: We have something called i-school in our district. Basically each teacher has a site linked to the main school website. The students must use a password and user id to access it. On this page I would include my homework, class room information, poems that we might be working on, important links for parents and lots of links for my students to use.
